Besides, that was Bao Heizi, a subordinate of Prime Minister Bao, and all civil servants in the Song Dynasty had to "respect" him three points.
The sage scholar Feng Yuan expressed his thoughts to the county magistrate. He was just a small yamen official, and he could still shirk some responsibilities. The county magistrate immediately gave Xie Yu a "ticket arrangement" and asked Xie Yu to fully cooperate with the three officials. act.
Although the county magistrate issued an "order" for Xie Yu to cooperate, he still had to fight for everything he had to fight for. Not to mention food and accommodation, the reimbursement of travel expenses for business trips also had to be taken into consideration!
Considering Xie Yu's martial arts skills, Feng Yuan and the others agreed with a "big deal".
However, they will soon regret it.
Not to mention anything else, Xie Yu's food intake per person per meal was more than the three of them, and he had to eat mainly meat. Cocoa was in the feudal ancient times when productivity was not very developed.
About two months later, the three of them, Feng Yuan, occasionally appeared "fishing" in several government offices and even prosperous "areas" in the northwest of Xiangyang Prefecture. Unfortunately, the fish caught were because of the "nest". ?
The bottom has been exposed a long time ago!
At first, Feng Yuan thought that Xie Yu, who was thinner than the three of them, just ate more than the three of them in one meal, but he didn't expect it to be like this!
No matter how big his wallet was, no matter how much "private money" and reward money his "adopted father" from Northern China Ouyang Chun gave him, he still couldn't withstand Xie Yu's "big feast".
The only good thing is that Xie Yu, a guy who practices "Drunken Boxing", doesn't drink alcohol and still practices to the stage of divine will. It's a bit strange!
During this process, it was not without encountering the retainers, generals, and errands of King Xiangyang.
But I didn’t hear anything from them, deliberately taking what Ni Er said!
Feng Yuan's mind was still flexible, and he finally realized that in this situation, either Ni Er was just a marginal figure and could not get the attention of the Xiangyang Palace.
Either that or they've already exposed their bottom, and it's most likely the latter.
When Feng Yuan told his guess, Ma Long, the double-sword general, felt that his brain was not enough and looked at Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao looked like he was looking at ***!
Xie Yu indeed smiled secretly: "Sure enough, I was discovered."
It seems that this trip, free travel and free food and drink are coming to an end.
Looking at Feng Yuan's reaction, and Xie Yu has recently taken advantage of them, he has dug out a lot of "little treasures", such as using their identities to "uprightly" enter some public houses, not to mention many other public houses, understand Many people have further improved the "Drunken Boxing" system.
Furthermore, I have collected a lot of meteoric iron sand after traveling around a lot, which is worth smelting in a big furnace. It is not necessary to use pure meteoric iron. With some ordinary iron crystals, you can make some meteoric iron "alloys"!
It's just a pity that a lot of Wu Ze's "legacy" was left behind, because following these three people was a waste of time.
Coupled with the inconvenient escape, what Wu Ze left behind was basically taken over by Wang Guan "Ma Qiang", the family general of the Prince of Xiangyang.
From Wu Ze's memory, he knew that Ma Qiang and Brother Ma were just like him. They were generals in the family of Zhao Jue, King of Xiangyang. It was normal for him to send Ma Qiang to take over. This Ma Qiang was not an ordinary person either.
It's just a pity for those "Jiaozi"...
Originally, Xie Yu wanted to discover a few existences similar to Nie Dongxiang!
Speaking of Nie Dongxiang, there was no movement in Zekou County. It seemed that Nie Dongxiang believed Xie Yu's words and did not betray Xie Yu.
When she gets back, reward her with an opportunity for direct contact. The scenery in the back is very good. Maybe it is difficult to switch from luxury to frugality, but there are too many and it is monotonous. It is better to change the scenery.
At the end of the day, Xie Yu couldn't hold it back and said secretly:
"You came to Hubei Province to look for evidence of illegal activities in the Prince of Xiangyang's Palace, but you haven't found anything after so long."
"Haven't you noticed that this is the most abnormal thing?"
Feng Yuan: "You mean, we have been targeted for a long time?"
Xie Yu: "The difference is huge. I think the Prince of Xiangyang has been operating in Hubei Province for many years and has a great reputation in the court and in the world. I guess he must have some skills."
section. "
"Thinking about it, the DPRK and the Central Government should have arranged for people to investigate more than once, but what was the result?"
Feng Yuan: "I hope the policeman can give me some ideas!"
Xie Yu: "Any place that is rich and noble, especially a prestigious one like Xiangyang Prince's Palace, can attract so many people from all walks of life to join the family."
"The palace of the Prince of Xiangyang is only at the level of a county king, and the people who have occupied Xiangyang for only two generations should have been unable to hold on even if they are mountains of gold and silver!"
"Have you ever heard of Lan Xiao, the golden-faced god of Black Wolf Mountain, and the flying fork eunuch Zhong Xiongdu!"
Feng Yuan: "Thank you, catcher, drought and water bandits, what do you mean by this?"
Xie Yu: "What, I didn't say anything."
Some words are in vain if they are not well-leveled enough. After a few months of contact, Xie Yu discovered that Feng Yuan was indeed a bit "clever", but he only became "clever" on the spot.
In fact, many problems are ultimately "economic" problems. To put it simply, they are still "money" problems. Although it is a bit one-sided, most of them are indeed like this.
It is often said: "Problems of productivity and production relations, and the economic base determine what the superstructure is!"
Mr. Ma and Mr. En are really great geniuses, but it’s a pity that when they were in school, they really didn’t understand their classes, and they thought they were annoying and boring. In fact, that was the “dragon-slaying art” under the lamplight!
There are some things that people don’t understand even if you say them, so you don’t need to say them at all.
After eating and drinking for half a month, "some people are always watching" and missing out on many benefits, Xie Yu finally got tired of it.
Finally, Xie Yu discovered the traces of the royal official Ma Qiang. Xie Yu artificially created an "accidental encounter"!
When Ma Qiang met, Feng Yuan and the others frowned. There had been news from the mansion that he had recently been busy accepting Wu Ze's basic stalls, so naturally he deliberately avoided it, but he didn't expect to encounter him.
When Feng Yuan and the three of them met the somewhat mysterious Ma Qiang, they looked at each other and realized that this was the "big fish". They suddenly felt that the "hard work" of the past few months was not in vain.
The siege immediately began. Xie Yu hesitated and did not join the battle group. Instead, he covered his face and hid in the dark, preparing with the hidden weapon "Sleeve Arrow" temporarily lent to Xie Yu by Feng Yuan!
With Muchen Bead's plan, even if Ma Qiang is very powerful in martial arts, he is still not invincible. In this case, even two fists can't beat four hands. It's normal.
With Xie Yu's eyesight and Muchen Beads, plus Xie Yu gave Ma Qiang a sleeve of arrows "on his thigh"!
This Ma Qiang was successfully captured by the three officers of the Kaifeng Palace. After a search, he naturally found something key to the Xiangyang Palace.
So, without any delay, they directly signed a "ticket" for Xie Yu, indicating that Xie Yu's mission was over, and then they secretly escorted Ma Qiang back to Kaifeng Mansion!
This matter, if you really don’t catch a big fish, you can’t take it easy, it will be endless.
After they left, Xie Yu first went to Wu Ze's local secret contact point and seized a batch of "Jiaozi" and account books.
Let’s not talk about Jiaozi, it’s money. There are old and new accounts. The old one was naturally left by Wu Ze, and the new one was made by Ma Qiangang.
As soon as Muchen Bead was read, it turned out that there were factions within the Xiangyang Palace, and it was natural for people to arrange for "themselves", or not...
Forget it, Nie Dongxiang is good. Ma Qiang is captured, so it’s better not to make other moves. It’s still a matter of risk...
Xie Yu just put away these friendships first, preparing to get out of the limelight and exchange them later.
Before leaving here, Xie Yu first went to "copy" the raw material warehouse of a private gun workshop owned by a large local company.
When this raw material warehouse came to the city, Xie Yu set his sights on it. Firecrackers were still a luxury item at this time, and sulfur was used as a medicinal material.
It's too expensive. "Borrowing" it is much more cost-effective than spending money to buy raw materials at the drug store and prepare your own black powder.
Went to another city and spent money to rent a blacksmith shop for three to five days.
Push others away because of experience.
Although Xie Yu wanted more and made a lot more "alloy", but with the help of Muchen Beads and King Vajra Curse, he was only four days old.
All the meteorite iron sand in Xie Yu's hands has been transformed into various hand weapons.
.
Of course, on the surface, what Xie Yu can expose is a meteorite alloy, a "ten-hand" iron ruler with a threaded ruler length, and a meteorite alloy threaded gun head!
The purpose of adding threads is naturally to add a longer handle. The long handle can be made of iron or wood, depending on the occasion.
It also needs some old-fashioned treatment. I have been working as an official in Kaifeng Prefecture for a few months and I don’t have any reward. I received two "fine iron" weapons with very little material as a "reward". It's very reasonable!
On the way back, Xie Yu dug out a few more "unfortunate" "little treasures" to replenish his wallet? reserve.
Among them, there was an ash forest that Feng Yuan and the others encountered when they went out for "travel" and "fishing".
Of course, this kind of ash planted by the people does not need to be as complicated as the military, which has to wait for ten years for special soldiers to patrol, repair branches, and control insects.
Folks grow ash wood, not mainly for use as sticks and gun poles. Instead, they use the branches and leaves to cultivate ash worms to collect a medicinal material called "white wax". The white wax is used to make candles, wax paper, and wax cloth, which can be said to have a wide range of uses.
Of course, ash bark extract can also be used as a smooth "laxative" and is a traditional Chinese medicine.
Their uses and properties are different, so their appearance is naturally very different.
But if the same material falls into Xie Yu's hands, and the training is done, just because there is no special care for folk planting, there is no need to think about the large gun poles above three meters, and there are several hand-jointed help poles below three meters. Still no problem.
Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, Xie Yu was also very sensible and helped them clean up. You have to know the reasonable spacing when planting!
Wandering around like this, after being separated from Feng Yuan and the others for more than twenty days, Xie Yu finally returned to Tukou County to "sell the fake"!
If Xie Yu hadn't come back, the county official would have almost forgotten about it.
After a rough journey, after finishing his vacation, and seeing that the county magistrate had no intention of summoning him, Xie Yu went back home first, visited his parents, and reported that he was safe before going to his own small courtyard.
Returning to the small courtyard, Xie Yu first went to see the tomato flowers planted, and then noticed that the "Snake Killer", "Lobelia", "Castor Bean" and "Human Grass" that had not been back for several months were poisonous. Or herbs that can detoxify have also grown.
It's time to collect and trim them, firstly, they look good, and secondly, you can practice some detoxification or poisonous prescriptions for later use.
In a world of low martial arts, "medicine" is often much more useful than frontal killing.
Besides, if you don’t practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow, if you don’t practice for two days, you will lose half of your skills, and if you don’t practice for three days, you will be a layman.
Just like martial arts training, medicine training is also a way to make Xie Yu more familiar with the "properties of medicine" in this world.
The next day, the county magistrate had not yet summoned him.
Xie Yu "took the time" to meet Weng Yuxiang, but he was not very lucky and had to "take advantage of the heat", but as he said, he came anyway.
Besides, Weng Yuxiang is the county's honored concubine, and Xie Yu used coaxing to borrow it for free at no cost, and she was so cooperative that it was understandable that there were some flaws!
Xie Yu finally fulfilled his promise and turned Weng Yuxiang over. Of course, his eyes were still covered.
On the contrary, Weng Yuxiang is even more "fortunate" that she did not betray Xie Yu!
When Xie Yu relaxed, Weng Yuxiang conveniently wrapped her legs around Xie Yu and wouldn't let go!
After borrowing it several times, the county official finally responded and called Xie Yu over for questioning!
In fact, I didn’t ask anything. It was just a matter of attitude. I rewarded Xie Yu with a small reward and let Xie Yu go on errands!
What's wrong?
There was a natural case of "hanging" in the county. The officials in the execution room had a preliminary look at it, but they still had to let the county magistrate make a decision.
Because it was getting late, Xie Yu was said to be young and skilled, so he asked Xie Yu to work the night shift and keep vigil to prevent anyone from "destroying the scene."
depressed….
Needless to say, after guarding the body all night, the county magistrate came late the next day, and Xie Yu was "swatted" away like a "fly"!
So Xie Yushao went to find Weng Yuxiang during the day. Of course, he didn't turn over this time and vented his frustration from behind!
Time passes again
After a month, Xie Yu felt more and more restricted by the "acquaintance" society in Tukou County, and was trying to improve it!
Suddenly, he was summoned by the county magistrate again. It turned out that he was from Kaifeng Mansion in Bianjing and asked Xie Yu to go to Bianjing on an errand!
Judging from the expression on the face of this county official who never "looks down" on others, it shouldn't be a bad thing!
Just when he was about to improve his lower ring, Xie Yu didn't hesitate and took the job directly!
Gather what should be gathered away, especially those "poisonous weeds" grown in the backyard, bid farewell to her original parents, and left without even breaking up with Weng Yuxiang.
From Tukou County to Bianjing, there are two ways to choose from: water and dry roads!
In terms of safety, natural dry roads are the most suitable. Of course, they also require more effort and time!
In terms of convenience, waterways are naturally better!
Of course, the waterway is also more dangerous. There are many water bandits along the way. Coupled with the closed environment on the ship, it can be said that you can catch them with certainty!
At this time, for Xie Yu, a lone traveler, the best way is to take a boat on the waterway, preferably one with "power".
I also inquired about it on the way, and learned that the Wu family, a wealthy family from Lingnan, was currently serving as the transport envoy of the Third Division, and that several merchant ships were about to enter Bianjing.
This kind of opportunity was not to be missed. Xie Yu naturally came to the door and got a boarding spot!
It's just that there are still a few days before the ship sails, and it's just a good time to take a look at Wu Ze and Ma Qiang's line. Apart from anything else, everyone who lives in the capital knows that those "Jiaozi" are exactly Xie Yu's goals!
Before leaving, Xie Yu had to take advantage of the fact that the people in the Xiangyang Palace did not react, so he had to change again!
The result was indeed as Xie Yu expected. With the speed of news transmission in ancient times, the Xiangyang Palace really felt that something was wrong.
Xie Yu, who had "disguised himself" several times, had exchanged large amounts of cash from banks in several counties under the name of the Prince of Xiangyang, almost causing a "run" incident!
When King Zhao Jue of Xiangyang became angry and arranged for a special person to go out to investigate, Xie Yu had already arrived at the merchant ship of the Wu family, the transport envoy of the Third Division, and set off in the direction of Bianshui.
Although I had to pay "travel money" several times during this process, it was finally smooth. In terms of people and time, it was more cost-effective than traveling by dry road.
